History

The club was originally formed in the mid 1950s playing under a variety of names, which included ''Pontymister Rovers'', ''Pontymister Rangers'' and plain ''Pontymister''. A further name change to AC Pontymister occurred in 1977 following an enforced relocation of their home ground from Tanybryn to Pontymister Recreation Ground. The Club have been members of the Gwent County league since its formation at the start of the 1980s and have had a second side within the Newport and District Football League.
